Title: Process for optical coherence tomography and apparatus for optical coherence tomography
Inventor: MASSOW OLE
IPC: G06V10/75
Filed: 2011-12-28
Abstract: In a process for optical coherence tomography a plurality of first OCT slice images, each first slice image representing a different slice of an object, are recorded.  Subsequently a reference figure that is representative of the three-dimensional contour of at least one structural feature of the object in a given three-dimensional coordinate system x, y, z is ascertained by feature recognition of the at least one structural feature in the first slice images. Then a plurality of second OCT  slice images, each second slice image representing a different slice of the object, are recorded. At least a fraction of the second slice images are displaced in the coordinate system x, y, z until each second slice image is in feature overlap with the reference figure. Lastly, a set of three-dimensional OCT image data is generated at least from the feature-overlapped second slice images.

Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a plug for use in a piercing-rolling mill for producing a seamless steel tube/pipe, and the method for producing the plug includes a shotblasting step of carrying out shotblasting on a surface of the plug, and an arc-spraying step of performing arc-spraying of a spray wire so as to form a film on a surface of a base metal of the plug to which the shotblasting is applied.  In the arc-spraying step, the arc-spraying is carried out by using, as the spray wire, a cored wire (1) whose iron sheath tube (2) is filled with at least low-thermal conductive particles (e.g. ZrO2 particles) (3) having lower thermal conductivity than that of iron oxide among iron particles (4) and low-thermal conductive particles (3), so as to form the film containing iron oxide, Fe and low-thermal conductive material.  Accordingly, it is possible to form the film having enhanced insulation performance, and to produce the plug capable of ensuring the steady enhancement of the durability life of the plug during the piercing-rolling.
